7 Questions

By Chameleon

I wonder if, such a thing exists
as bliss, or the sense of euphoria.
Or is it simply another mix;
caffeine and nicotine, stirred
by a cool morning breeze?

Does nature concoct such remedies?
Or is it just another pill taken
to ignore our pain, or creat sensation?
Am I pure in thought, or impure by nature?

Are all thse things meant to be?
Or some meant to be- something else?
Is it some path by which we're lead,
or simply emptiness that lies ahead?

These are the questions I ask the trees.
They're old and wise, and certainly
have an understanding that we do not.
So when I ask these questions
the answer is clear;

The trees say nothing...

    Trees are fickle that way....they only talk to me after nights of drug induced euphoria...and most of these questions are better asked of trees, or rocks cause i haven't found anyone yet that could answer them
